Most of the Indians might of surely came across OLX India name atleast once by seeing Ads in Newspaper, TV, Website, Blogs or Banners. Recent year OLX reached millions by its TV commercials.You must have seen Olx.in ads on your television with the slogan"Where Buyers Meet Sellers", the catchy ads that show day-to-day activities which highlight the advantages and simplicity of advertising oneself in the largest free classified ads place worldwide.
What is OLX All About?
As I said before with OLX one can sell household things also and this advertisement highlights this part of OLX. Here the family gets rid of old household items to get a baby cot and accessories for the new member of their family.
This advertisement is surely the funniest of all where the sons want to sell their desktop while their father remembers writing emails to his wife using it. Memories give way to a worthy offer and the signature 'Bech De' (Sell It!) says it all.
This Ad is between the siblings where the younger one has got an offer on their old bike while the elder cherishes his memories with his ex-girlfriend on the bike. A lucrative offer on OLX is too hot to resist for the elder brother who gives out the famous one-liner 'Bech De' (Sell It!).
In this campaign, three generations of a family are travelling in a car where the two grandsons want to sell their grandpa's old car while the grandfather talks about memories associated with the car. A good offer and grandfather hands over the keys to his grandsons and gets into an auto rickshaw!


The concept of zero—less than one, nothing, nada—is deceptively complex. The first placeholder zero dates back to around 300 BCE, and the notion didn't make its way to Western Europe until the 12th century. It takes children until preschool to wrap their brains around the concept. But scientists in Australia recently discovered a new animal capable of understanding zero: the honey bee. According to Vox, a new study finds that the insects can be taught the concept of nothing.
A few other animals can understand zero, according to current research. Dolphins, parrots, and monkeys can all understand the difference between something and nothing, but honey bees are the first insects proven to be able to do it.
The new study, published in the journal Science, finds that honey bees can rank quantities based on "greater than" and "less than," and can understand that nothing is less than one.
The researchers trained bees to identify images in the lab that showed the fewest number of elements (in this case, dots). If they chose the image with the fewest circles from a set, they received sweetened water, whereas if they chose another image, they received bitter quinine.
Once the insects got that concept down, the researchers introduced another challenge: The bees had to choose between a blank image and one with dots on it. More than 60 percent of the time, the insects were successfully able to extrapolate that if they needed to choose the fewest dots between an image with a few dots and an image with no dots at all, no dots was the correct answer. They could grasp the concept that nothing can still be a numerical quantity.
It's not entirely surprising that bees are capable of such feats of intelligence. We already know that they can count, teach each other skills, communicate via the "waggle dance," and think abstractly. This is just more evidence that bees are strikingly intelligent creatures, despite the fact that their insect brains look nothing like our own.
Considering how far apart bees and primates are on the evolutionary tree, and how different their brains are from ours—they have fewer than 1 million neurons, while we have about 86 billion—this finding raises a lot of new questions about the neural basis of understanding numbers, and will no doubt lead to further research on how the brain processes concepts like zero.

As we are trekking in geological variations, a wide range of climatic conditions means it can get cool in the evening and it is a good idea to bring a warm fleece jacket and some long pants. During the day temperatures are relatively warm and normal attire with T-shirts and shorts will be fine. On average you can expect daytime temperatures of 22 to 30+ degrees Celsius. Rain is not likely.
There are no special fitness requirements for trekking; the main recommendation is a sense of adventure! There is no age limit providing that you are in reasonable physical shape and you are aware of the rigors of a trekking expedition in a foreign country and have proper travellers' insurance. Please make a point of telling us (quietly if you wish) if you have any medical condition/allergies or are on any medication that you think we should be aware of.

CAMERA Op-Ed: Palestinians Have an Anti-Peace Plan
By: Sean Durns August 1, 2018
"Those who don't learn history," the philosopher George Santayana famously intoned, "are doomed to repeat it." The oft-quoted adage certainly applies to the Arab-Israeli conflict. But the history of that conflict can't properly be understood, nor the likelihood of its resolution truly gauged, until the media stop ignoring and omitting the long history of Palestinians rejecting reasonable U.S. and Israeli peace offers.
On June 24, 2018, Jared Kushner, the senior adviser and son-in-law to President Trump, announced that the U.S. would soon be presenting a new Israeli-Palestinian peace plan. Kushner's comments prompted both speculation and media frenzy. Less widely noted, however, was the immediate response by the Palestinian Authority, the entity that rules the West Bank (Judea and Samaria) and is led by Mahmoud Abbas of the Fatah movement.
Before the terms of the proposed peace plan were even announced, the PA, in their own words, launched a "national campaign to thwart the Deal of the Century." The authority's concerted opposition to the deal, sight unseen, has been ignored and obfuscated by many press outlets and policymakers.
As the Middle East Media Research Institute has documented, the PA and Fatah have in no uncertain terms voiced their disdain for a peace plan, irrespective of what it might contain. MEMRI, a nonprofit organization that monitors Arab, Iranian, and Russian media, noted that Fatah official Jamal Muhaisin has publicly denounced the unreleased plan as "the American crime of our era." Muhaisin has even met with Fatah branches in the West Bank in order to plan "The March of Refusal of the Deal of the Century."
Fatah has also published and distributed posters proclaiming, among other things, "Palestine is not for sale" and "The Deal of the Century will not thwart the will of Palestine."
An announcement posted on Fatah's official Facebook page said that the movement hopes "to clarify the dangers posed by this deal, which is known to be a bad deal, and explain how it can destroy our national cause [by] proposing alternative solutions that circumvent the Palestinian people's eternal rights [in favor of] humanitarian gestures and economic enticements."
Opposition to the yet-unseen peace plan has seemingly been approved at the highest levels of the PA government. Numerous top Fatah operatives have proclaimed a refusal to accept any proposal put forward by the U.S. — despite the fact that the U.S. is a chief benefactor of the PA and was, in large measure, responsible for its creation.
Some major Western news outlets, including the Washington Post, the New York Times, CNN, and others, have quoted PA officials, such as peace negotiator Saeb Erekat, who oppose any U.S.-presented plan. However, many in the media have failed to note the full extent of Fatah's preemptive and well-organized anti-peace campaign. Worse still, the press has frequently misled about the reasons behind Fatah's opposition.
Several newspapers, including the Washington Post, have claimed that "by recognizing Jerusalem as Israel's capital" — that is, by belatedly implementing the bipartisan 1995 Jerusalem Embassy Act — the U.S. effectively gave Fatah a reason to oppose future peace negotiations. This, however, forgets recent history.
In fact, the PA has repeatedly rejected U.S. and Israeli offers for peace and a Palestinian state — and they were doing so long before the December 2017 decision to recognize Jerusalem as Israel's capital. In 2000, at Camp David, in 2001 at Taba, and in 2008 after the Annapolis Conference, among other instances, the PA refused without even so much as a counteroffer U.S. and Israeli proposals for a Palestinian state in exchange for peace with and recognition of the Jewish state.
In a March 27, 2009 interview with Al-Jazeera, Fatah official Erekat — who has been widely and uncritically quoted in media accounts blaming the U.S. for failed peace efforts — hailed Abbas' decision to reject the 2008 offer.
More recently, PA President Abbas spurned 2014 and 2016 U.S. attempts to restart negotiations. As the Committee for Accuracy in Middle East Reporting documented, news outlets like the Washington Post failed to cover the latter instance of the Authority once again snubbing Israeli and U.S. negotiators.
Instead of accepting a Palestinian state, the PA has refused U.S. and Israeli demands to quit paying salaries to Palestinian terrorists and their families. Abbas has been unmoved by recent U.S. and Israeli legislation that makes aid contingent on the authority ceasing their so-called "pay-to-slay" policy. In July 23, 2018 remarks, Abbas called imprisoned terrorists "pioneers" and "stars." He defiantly exhorted: "If we had only a single penny left, we would pay it to families of the martyrs and prisoners."
Yet, many media accounts blaming the U.S. for Palestinian rejectionism present U.S. aid cuts as a legitimate Palestinian grievance — often failing to tell readers that the PA, the prospective peace partner, is choosing to pay terrorists instead of negotiating peace.
The PA and its leaders have a long and tragic history of rejecting peace and proliferating terror, irrespective of who sits in the White House. And the press, responsible in large measure for crafting the first draft of history, would do well to record it.

Item 4.02
Non-Reliance on Previously Issued Financial Statements or a Related Audit Report or Completed Interim Review.
As previously disclosed on Form 8-K filed by Mercury Ecommerce Acquisition Corp. (the "Company") on October 4, 2021, the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors (the "Audit Committee") of the Company dismissed Marcum LLP as the Company's independent registered public accounting firm effective on October 1, 2021 and approved the appointment of BDO USA, LLC ("BDO") as the Company's new independent registered public accounting firm.
On October 31, 2021, the management and the Audit Committee of the Company, after consultation with BDO, concluded that the Company's audited balance sheet as of July 30, 2021 filed in the Company's Form 8-K filed on August 6, 2021 contained errors relating to (i) the classification between temporary equity and permanent equity of the shares of the Company's Class A common stock subject to redemption, which the Company initially presented a portion of as permanent equity, and has determined should be classified as temporary equity; and (ii) the accounting for the sale of founder shares by the Company's sponsor to certain anchor investors in connection with their indications of interest in the Company's initial public offering, which the Company has determined should be accounted for as non-cash offering costs. In light of these errors, it was determined that it is appropriate to amend and restate the Company's previously issued audited balance sheet as of July 30, 2021 reflecting receipt of the proceeds upon consummation of the Company's initial public offering and the private placement that was included in the Company's Current Report on Form 8-K filed on August 6, 2021 ("Non-Reliance Financial Statements").
Considering such restatement, the Non-Reliance Financial Statements should no longer be relied upon. The Company will file an amendment to its Form 8-K filed on August 6, 2021 with respect to the audited balance sheet as of July 30, 2021 reflecting (i) the reclassification of shares of the Company's Class A common stock subject to redemption as temporary equity and (ii) the accounting of founder shares sold to anchor investors in connection with the Company's initial public offering as non-cash offering costs as soon as practicable.
The Company's management and the Audit Committee have discussed the matters disclosed in this Current Report on Form 8-K pursuant to this Item 4.02 with BDO as the Company's new independent registered public accounting firm.

Ben Glassberg appointed Principal Conductor of the Glyndebourne Tour
Ben Glassberg has been appointed Principal Conductor of the Glyndebourne Tour, it has been announced.
The Glyndebourne Tour Orchestra comprises a diverse mix of talented and committed freelance players who assemble each year to perform in three productions for the annual Glyndebourne Tour.
In the role of Principal Conductor, Glassberg will conduct one production on each Glyndebourne Tour for the next three years. The first will be Donizetti's L'elisir d'amore for Glyndebourne Tour 2019. At the end of his term a new Principal Conductor will be appointed.
Steven Naylor, Director of Artistic Administration, said: 'A major aim of the Glyndebourne Tour is to champion new talent. The role of Principal Conductor of the Glyndebourne Tour has been created to offer another vehicle for supporting exceptionally talented musicians, in this case conductors. From his previous work for Glyndebourne, it is clear that Ben is a rising star and we are delighted to be developing our relationship with him through this appointment.'
Among the top level conductors whose careers were advanced through performances with the Glyndebourne Tour are Ivor Bolton, Louis Langrée, Edward Gardner, Robin Ticciati and Jakub Hrůša.
Conductor Ben Glassberg said: 'I'm incredibly excited to be continuing my relationship with Glyndebourne as Principal Conductor of Glyndebourne Tour. My first professional work as an assistant was at Glyndebourne, and it's where many memorable and joyous moments in my career so far have taken place. I look forward greatly to working with the outstanding orchestra and chorus over the next few years, after having a terrific experience with them both this year.'
Ben Glassberg is currently conducting La traviata: Behind the Curtain for Glyndebourne Tour 2018. His previous appearances for Glyndebourne include one performance of La clemenza di Tito and two performances of Madama Butterfly at the 2017 and 2018 Glyndebourne Festivals. This season he has conducted performances of Die Zauberflöte at La Monnaie, and forthcoming debuts include with the Detroit Symphony and St Petersburg Symphony Orchestras.
Autumn 2018 marks 50 years of the Glyndebourne Tour.

Against the political background of the drive to reduce energy consumption across industry, there is an ever increasing demand for more efficient transformers. Since September 2015, a directive has been implemented under EU Regulation 548/2014 which prescribes the maximum energy losses for distribution transformers and the minimum Power Efficiency Index (PEI) for power transformers.
In additon to the on-going improvements in the development of transformer plates (electrical plates), there are also opportunities to improve the efficiency of the wound components.
The clear aim is to reduce both current and heat losses, in order to reduce energy consumption as well as increase the lifespan of the transformer.
Wickeder Westfalenstahl is leading you into the future – using the right clad materials to take advantage of the corresponding properties of the component metals.

Studying Early Childhood Education at Saskatchewan Polytechnic
Three campuses, online courses and a part-time option ensures the accessibility of the program
By Catherine McIntyre February 2, 2018
Maclean's Education Hub »
(Saskatchewan Polytechnic)
Saskatchewan Polytechnic is ensuring, through a wide range of program options, that anyone with a desire to become an early childhood educator can become qualified through the school.
The polytechnic offers a certificate and diploma option at three of the four main campuses—Saskatoon, Regina and Prince Albert—along with online and part-time courses and programs. Students with previous experience in early childhood education can complete an accelerated program; folks in smaller communities can study through satellite schools that partner with the college.
Students can opt for a one-year certificate, which will prepare them to work with preschool-aged children. In the two-year diploma program, students have the chance to work with school-aged kids, as well as infants and those with disabilities.
On-campus students benefit from access to a demonstration child care centre on-site. "They can be sitting in the classroom learning about a particular theory," says Nancy Holden, an instructor at the Saskatoon campus, "and they can walk down to this demonstration centre and see it happening." Classrooms are also equipped with cameras for students to observe and learn from daycare centres in real time.
Over the past few years, the program has moved toward integrating more Indigenous approaches into their curriculum. "We have Indigenous student advisers working with us on ways of knowing and learning from an Indigenous perspective," says Veryl Coghill, an instructor at the Prince Albert campus, where the vast majority of students are Indigenous. "We incorporate those teachings into our storytelling, and have different elders come in and talk to our students," she adds.

Steem is currently on Bittrex is undervalued, its down from 9.30 USD to 1.33 USD.
According to the team at Nouvive, it seems as that we will see a bounce from 0.002 to a possibility to 0.00053.
Steem is the unit of currency for the blogging and social networking website known as Steemit. The Steem currency is a blockchain that is used as tradable tokens obtained for posting, discovering, and commenting on content. It was created by the founders of BitShares and EOS – illustrating that they have 6 years of experience in the CryptoSphere as well as have been able to raise $4BN worth of investors' money.
Users are forced to acquire value solely by participating – whether through content creation, commenting, or the process of upvoting.
Steem has been dropping from 0.00100 Sats to 0.00020 – its current to date values. This represents an 80 per cent retrace since December 2017.
Steem is currently in an accumulation period and Nouvive highly recommends a purchase from 0.00014 to 0.00020.
You should take profit at 0.00032 – this is where it will be rejected by the 50 Day Moving Average.
A bullish season like the one of December 2017-January 2018 could see figures reach previous highs of 9 dollars – representing a 9X.
Meaning £1 becomes £9. Especially following the recent announcement with DataWallet's partnership.
The app will soon allow Steemit users the ability to monetize the data component of their online creations- a prospect welcomed with open arms by the Steemit community.
In the meanwhile – Nouvive will update you as to whether you should sell at 0.00032 or 0.00052.

The things they did in the dark to the baby were unspeakable.
The older one had been watching crime shows on television, and so he knew about things like fingerprints and bits of skin that might be found under fingernails. It was high summer in the poorer part of Cicero, Illinois, hot and green, and beneath the heavy, pre-thunderstorm clouds and the whine of insects buzzing in the humid air, everything around the yard was open-- the garage, the rickety gardening shed, the side door to the house. They'd gone scavenging in secret and picked up things like a couple of sets of dirty gardening gloves, rusty trimming shears, a hand-sized hoe-fork, a partially used roll of duct tape and a flashlight from the garage. Then, while the mother was in back hanging the wash on the line-- trying to save electricity and keep the ancient dryer from dumping more heat into the small, shabby house-- they went into the house and took the eighteen-month-old girl from her crib.
Well, they took her, too.

APPLE INC is currently 12.8% below its 200-period moving average and is in an downward trend. Volatility is extremely high when compared to the average volatility over the last 10 periods. There is a good possibility that volatility will decrease and prices will stabilize in the near term. Our volume indicators reflect moderate flows of volume out of AAPL.O (mildly bearish). Our trend forecasting oscillators are currently bearish on AAPL.O and have had this outlook for the last 8 periods. Our momentum oscillator is currently indicating that AAPL.O is currently in an oversold condition.
One method of interpreting the Stochastic Oscillator is looking for overbought areas (above 80) and oversold areas (below 20). The Stochastic Oscillator is 16.2287. This is an oversold reading. However, a signal is not generated until the Oscillator crosses above 20 The last signal was a sell 12 period(s) ago.
The RSI shows overbought (above 70) and oversold (below 30) areas. The current value of the RSI is 27.72. This is where it usually bottoms. The RSI usually forms tops and bottoms before the underlying security. A buy or sell signal is generated when the RSI moves out of an overbought/oversold area. The last signal was a sell 18 period(s) ago.

Animal Welfare Guidelines and Audit Checklist
By the National Chicken Council - The National Chicken Council (NCC) is the association representing vertically integrated broiler producer-processors. NCC recommends the following guidelines to its members to assure the humane treatment of animals and to promote the production of quality products.
Animal Welfare Guidelines and Audit Checklist - By the National Chicken Council - The National Chicken Council (NCC) is the association representing vertically integrated broiler producer-processors. NCC recommends the following guidelines to its members to assure the humane treatment of animals and to promote the production of quality products.
Domestic animals are adaptable to a variety of conditions. Today's chicken has been purposefully selected to thrive under modern management. We believe current good management practices that avoid destructive behavior, prevent disease, and promote good health and production, are consistent with the generally accepted criteria of humane treatment.
The specific applications of these criteria are spelled out in the NCC Animal Welfare Audit Checklist, which should be used to assess compliance with these Guidelines. Those integrated chicken producer-processors endorsing these Guidelines should designate a management person or group within the company responsible for promoting adherence to the Guidelines. Practices that promote good health and welfare of broilers are categorized as follows:
Education, training and planning
Hatchery operations
Proper nutrition and feeding
Appropriate comfort and shelter
Health care (prevention of disease, or rapid diagnosis and treatment)
Ability to move about and display most normal patterns of behavior
Best practices on the farm
Catching and transportation
Breeder operations (if the subject operation includes breeders)
I. General Conditions and Practices Applicable to All Segments
A. Education, training and planning
Every company that adopts these Guidelines should have a person or a management group in charge of promoting adherence to the Guidelines.
Each company must have a documented training program for all employees involved in handling live animals. All employees involved in handling live birds must receive training in the appropriate section(s) of these Guidelines to allow them to do their jobs in accordance with the Guidelines.
Each company and each producer should have a written plan for disaster response and recovery, including, but not limited to, structural damage and water, feed and electrical outages. Producers should have current contact information for local emergency services, and each company must provide each producer with a "telephone tree" of emergency contacts at the company.
B. Hatchery operations
Conditions that optimize hatchability and minimize early mortality are also favorable to good welfare of hatching birds. Control of climate and sanitation from the hatching process through delivery should be monitored to assure maximum protection of newly hatched birds. The company must have a temperature range goal for the holding room in the hatchery (a minimum of 72 degrees Fahrenheit is recommended) and must have a working thermostat to ensure that the target temperature range is maintained. The company should also have an alarm system or regular monitoring system in use to alert hatchery personnel to failure of critical systems (heat, electricity).
Both manual and automated processing systems should be designed, maintained, and operated in a manner that prevents injuries to the chicks.
Each hatchery shall have employees who are charged with recording and reporting chick injuries to the management so that corrective action can be taken to avoid preventable injuries. Corrective action should be recorded. Injuries should be rare.
Chicks judged as unlikely to thrive should be removed and euthanized prior to disposal, and "pipped" eggs should be properly culled and destroyed. All handling of chicks, including vaccination, sexing, and delivery, should be done to avoid injuries.
Recommended Practice: Euthanasia of pips and culls is best accomplished by instantaneous mechanical destruction (maceration). Culls may be destroyed with a properly designed and operated carbon dioxide system precharged with 90% of CO2 in the chamber in which birds are kept until irreversible loss of consciousness occurs. Other euthanasia systems must be validated for humaneness.
Beak trimming is not allowed in broilers.
C. Proper Nutrition and Feeding
Diets should be formulated and fed to prevent all signs of nutritional deficiency and to promote good health and normal maintenance and production (weight gain, egg production).
Recommended Practices: Feed composition must be research-based to meet nutritional needs of the animals. Companies should consider the recommendations of the National Research Council and utilize current research to ensure that the diet is adequate to the needs of the broilers.
Feed and watering systems should provide adequate access for all birds. Signs of unequal access should result in a change in feed presentation or special provisions for birds denied access.
Generally speaking, commercial breeders and broilers should not lose weight. Decisions to modify the rate of weight gain (for production or health related reasons) are acceptable.
Water should be made available in adequate quantities for normal hydration, health, and productivity.
Feed mills should meet good manufacturing practices.
D. Appropriate Comfort and Shelter
Housing should be adequate to protect the birds from anticipated environmental conditions, including normally expected levels of heat, cold, and precipitation, as well as from predatory animals such as hawks and foxes.
Premises should be maintained in a clean and orderly fashion.
Vermin should be controlled through the use of bait stations, traps and other appropriate and effective measures.
Biosecurity procedures, such as bactericidal foot baths for visitors, should be in place.
Ventilation systems should be of adequate design and should be maintained and operated in such a manner to provide quality air at all times, including the provision of oxygen, removal of carbon dioxide and noxious gases, and reasonable control of humidity. Each facility should have a written protocol for minimum ventilation requirements, including temperature and dust control; heating program; and static pressure (when applicable).
Ammonia in the atmosphere should not exceed 25 parts per million; 10 parts per million should be the goal.
Moisture in litter should not exceed 35 percent (loosely compacted when squeezed in the hand); litter, ventilation, drinking systems and feed formulation should be managed to minimize foot problems. Visible cracks and ulcers on feet should be avoided. Where used, slats and wire floors should be well maintained, and animal waste removed on a regular program.
A reliable system or safety devices should be in place to alert caretakers to power failures or ventilation system failures; emergency procedures should be in place to provide adequate ventilation in the event of a power failure.
E. Health Care: Prevention of Disease, or Rapid Diagnosis and Treatment
Qualified veterinary care must be available.
Each company must have a written health plan developed in consultation with a veterinarian to include at a minimum: vaccinations; daily checks on bird condition; mortality/morbidity monitoring; identify signs/behaviors triggering vet call; measures taken to prevent transmission of disease among flocks and to control avian pathogens in light of health status of the previous flock.
A layout period of 10 to 14 days between flocks is recommended but may be modified based on health status of the flock, weather emergencies, litter replacement, total cleanout, and/or utilization of practices and technologies that lower the health risk to the birds. Approval of the veterinarian is required before the layout period is shortened.
Companies must monitor feed intake, bird health including eye and leg health, and lameness
Chicks should be vaccinated against common poultry diseases.
F. Ability to Display Most Normal Behavior
Birds should be allowed to roam freely throughout the growing area. Bird welfare at different stocking densities will depend on access to feeders and drinkers, lighting program, type of housing, ventilation system, feeder/drinker equipment, litter management, and husbandry, but density shall not exceed 8.5 pounds live weight per square foot.
Birds that exhibit stunted growth and obvious gait defects that limit an individual bird's ability to move about or access feed and water for normal growth and development (stage 4 or 5 on the modified Kestin gait score*) should be humanely euthanized.
The use of continuous subdued light (with appropriate acclimation) is not detrimental to welfare, provided enough light is available for inspection and normal behavior. Recently developed programs of light restriction, with periods of darkness, are also acceptable.
When continuous or near-continuous lighting is used, lighting should be subdued for most of the period in which the lights are on.
* Garner et al 2002 (Stage 4: "Bird remains squatting when approached or nudged . . . the bird can walk when picked up by the observer and placed in a standing position, but squats immediately following one or two steps . . ." Stage 5: "The bird cannot walk . . . it may attempt to stand when approached but is unable to do so, and when placed on its feet is unable to complete a step with one or both legs.)
G. On-Farm Best Practices
Flocks should be inspected at least twice a day.
The light level should be adequate for inspection, and the caretaker should pass close enough to the birds to observe them.
Any dead birds should be removed; and all feeding, drinking, and ventilation systems checked for proper operation on a daily basis.
The following are acceptable methods of on-farm euthanasia:
Rapid decapitation.
Rapid cervical disarticulation.
Displacement of oxygen with nitrogen, carbon dioxide, or other approved gas.
Any other American Veterinary Medical Association (AVMA) or American Humane Association (AHA) approved method.
H. Catching and Transportation
Whenever birds are handled for any reason, including vaccinations, treatments, and movement to new facilities or to processing, handling should be accomplished in such a manner as to avoid injuries. In catching, inversion of the birds (holding them by the feet with the head down) is believed to be the position in which the birds are the calmest and least likely to injure themselves by flapping and struggling. The number of birds in the catcher's hand depends on the size of the bird and should not cause injury to the birds. The maximum number of birds per hand is five.
Abuse of the animals should not be tolerated under any circumstances. Companies should have programs in place to encourage appropriate handling of birds by catching crews.
Transport coops should be appropriately sized and should be in good repair so that birds cannot escape during transit.
Density in the coops should permit the birds to sit during transport without being on top of one another (in a single layer).
During transport and holding, birds should be protected from extremes of heat and cold and should be provided with adequate ventilation.
Holding times should be kept to the minimum consistent with good processing practices.
The number of animals dead on arrival (DOA) at the plant should be minimized.
Any company that employs mechanical catching systems should develop protocols to ensure humane handling of birds. Goal is to ensure that mechanical catching is at least equal to hand-catching in terms of bruises, injuries, and DOA's.
I. Processing
Withdrawal of feed and water is necessary for sanitary processing procedures and food safety. Feed and water withdrawal should be kept to the minimum level consistent with good processing practices.
Properly designed and maintained facilities should be provided for bird delivery to the processing plant. Best management technology, such as adjustment of light levels, should be in use to help keep birds calm. Personnel should be carefully trained in proper delivery and handling techniques.
Holding areas should be equipped with an adequate number of fans to ensure proper ventilation for birds.
Stunning and killing equipment should be constantly monitored to insure proper functioning for humane processing. Birds should be insensible to pain when killed. A post-stun posture that includes arched neck and wings tucked in is visual evidence of an effective stun. Backup personnel should be employed at the killing station to euthanize manually any bird not properly killed by the equipment.
All birds should be dead before entering the scalder. An uncut "red bird" after the picker is a sign of system malfunction.
Companies have a strong economic incentive to avoid broken legs and wings because these cause product downgrades. There is no practical way to measure broken legs and wings on live birds before processing, but personnel and equipment should handle birds in a manner that minimizes broken legs and wings. Any spike in broken legs and wings on carcasses (slaughtered birds after the picker) should be investigated for systemic causes.
II. Special Considerations for Specific Classes Of Meat-Type Poultry
A. Breeder Pullets and Cockerels
Breeder pullets and cockerels are younger females and males, respectively, in flocks used to produce the eggs that become broilers (young meat chickens). Breeders have special requirements that must be met in a humane manner. These include:
Feed. Adequate access to feed and water must be provided. Because modern meat-type chickens grow rapidly, obesity can be a serious health and welfare problem in breeders. Moderation of feed intake to maintain frame size and body weight consistent with good health and production are acceptable management practices promoting good welfare.
Water. Moderated feeding programs may result in over-consumption of water, which can adversely impact welfare. Restrictions on excessive water intake on off-feed days, usually by limiting water availability to certain times of the day, with due consideration to environmental conditions, promotes overall welfare and is an acceptable practice.
Housing. Breeder male natural behavior has necessitated practices such as the gradual introduction of males to breeder houses and subsequent addition of fresh males, in order to maintain productivity and promote welfare. Provision for separate male housing for these extra males is therefore necessary. These facilities should be managed in such a way that social groups are small and stable.
Management. Any company that practices the gradual introduction of males into the breeder house will have a plan to do so in a manner that promotes overall flock well-being. Adequate space in nest boxes must be provided for hens.
Handling. Certain procedures that may cause short-term stress are necessary for the long-term welfare of the flock. Most of these procedures are to reduce injuries among birds. The following are examples of acceptable management practices promoting long-term welfare. Other similar practices may be acceptable, and the following is not intended to be a definitive list of acceptable practices.
Precision beak trimming.
Clipping the inside toe(s) of cockerels.
Dubbing the combs of cockerels
These practices should be accomplished to minimize stress and should be performed by well-trained personnel using properly designed and maintained equipment. Beak trimming, where performed, should be performed with a heated blade or laser, should be conducted at 10 days of age or less, and should remove no more than the tip of the beak.

Nasdaq Becomes Latest to Demand Board Diversity
Author: Marc Butler
The Nasdaq stock exchange just became the latest institution to put some teeth into its call for more diversity in public company boardrooms. And Nasdaq's fangs are sharper than most.
In a move that some are celebrating as a tipping point on the nettlesome issue of board diversity, Nasdaq is telling companies on the exchange to take action or face the ultimate penalty: delisting. The proposed rule changes (which must be approved by the SEC) have two main components.
Disclosure: Rule 5606, a shaming feature of sorts, requires listed companies to disclose their board diversity statistics in a standardized format. Companies have one year to comply with this rule.
Representation: Rule 5606(f) requires companies to meet certain diversity requirements (call them quotas if you like) on their board, or, failing that, to publicly explain why they haven't done so. If they do neither, they are subject to delisting.
The requirements of Rule 5606(f) are phased in over time. Within two years of SEC approval, companies must have (or explain why they don't have) at least one "diverse" director, which the fine print defines as a director who identifies as female, a member of an under-represented minority, or LGBTQ+. Within four years, most companies must have two diverse directors, including one female and one under-represented minority or LGBTQ+ individual. The rule gives foreign companies and small reporting companies slightly more leeway for compliance.
To win the SEC's blessing, Nasdaq backed up its proposed rule change with a novel-length filing (271 pages) that cites more than two dozen studies finding "an association between diverse boards and better financial performance."
At this point, though, there doesn't seem to be much resistance to that idea. In fact, with its proposed rule changes, Nasdaq is walking in the footsteps of several other powerful entities that agree with it on the importance of board diversity, and have imposed their own consequences on laggards. BlackRock, for instance, has voted against board slatesat insufficiently diverse companies. Proxy advisors Glass Lewis and ISS are encouraging similar voting policies. Goldman Sachs, meanwhile, is only taking companies public if they have one diverse board member (or two beginning in 2021).
Still more notably, perhaps, is California legislation on the topic. The first salvo, from 2018, required public companies in the state to put at least one woman on their board of directors. Much-anticipated legal challenges to that law have lost some steam, and it is widely credited for boosting board diversity numbers. In a further law passed in September, California requires companies headquartered in the state to have by the end of 2021 at least one director from an underrepresented community (i.e., "an individual who self-identifies as Black, African-American, Hispanic, Latino, Asian, Pacific Islander, Native American, Native Hawaiian, or Alaska Native, or who self-identifies as gay, lesbian, bisexual, or transgender.") By the end of 2022, the minimum number increases for boards of five or more directors.
Some observers suggest that the Nasdaq changes are even more momentous than the California laws. Law firms that would know are calling them a "game changer" and a "watershed moment for corporate governance in the United States."But the rules have their skeptics, too. If the ultimate reason for promoting board diversity is a belief that it creates more diverse workforces as a whole, the movement could be termed a disappointment. As Wired notes, "straight white men are a minority on the boards at Apple, Microsoft, Facebook, and Google parent Alphabet." That hasn't translated into progress on diversity in their workforces.
However consequential its changes end up being, Nasdaq can be satisfied that it added undeniable momentum to the cause of diversifying the public company boardrooms.
